House Republicans outline their case against Hillary Clinton for perjury

House Republicans on Monday outlined their perjury case against
Hillary Clinton in a letter to the US attorney for
Washington, DC, naming specific inconsistencies in her public
statements while under oath before Congress.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,
and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee, asked US Attorney Channing Phillips
to investigate Clinton in July after the FBI
announced it wouldn't recommend charges against Clinton over
her use of a private email server while she was secretary of
state.

At issue was FBI Director James Comey saying the agency's
investigation found that Clinton sent and received classified
information on her private email system, despite her earlier
statements to the contrary.

The new letter outlined House Republicans' specific areas of
concern about how Clinton's past statements differed from what
the FBI found during its investigation.

They pointed to her testimony under oath before a congressional
committee during which she said nothing on her server was marked
classified at the time it was sent or received:

House of Representatives

They also questioned her claim to a congressional committee that
her staff went through every email on her personal account to
identify work-related messages:

House of Representatives

Comey testified that Clinton's team did not actually read every
message, but rather relied on search terms to find work-related
emails.

The letter also noted that Clinton didn't hand over all her
work-related emails as she said she did.

Here's her testimony about that:

House of Representatives

But the FBI said it found several thousand work-related emails
that Clinton and her team did not release during the
investigation.

The letter also called out Clinton for using several different
servers to house her emails, despite leading investigators to
believe that she used only one.

The Department of Justice said in a letter last week that it
would "take appropriate action as necessary" with regard to
Goodlatte's and Chaffetz's request for an investigation in the
perjury accusations.

A representative for the Clinton campaign did not immediately
return a request for comment.
